There about an inch now and are getting colors so there big enough that I'm going to start selling them to make room for the next batch. What do u guys think I should price them at? Cuz this is the first time I've sold fish and I'm pretty sure that there the first of the kind so I have no idea what to price them at. The dovii was 9$ and the RQ was 75$

Where are you located at? The issue you'll run into is that unless you ship the number of people who are going to be interested in a hybrid like that are probably pretty limited. I wouldn't ask too much for them if it was me. Maybe $5-7 ea and a qty discount if purchasing 10+.

I agree, they are first of their kind so right now its more trial and error as far as how things will go with them. Once they have established themselves as far as looks, health, fertility, that sort of thing, thats what could drive price up or down. From a business stand point, when a product is new to the market, sales reps typically give samples or discounted rates to get the word/product out there to the customer. Once the product is proved to be liked and a demand is created, price is driven by the supply and the demand.

I would grow them out for myself to see how they turn out. If they turn out nice, they'll sell themselves. It will definitely take time. If they turn out to not be so nice, you're just introducing more crap hybrids. It is an interesting hybrid and many of us are interested to see how they'll turn out.
